I did a 30 miler today down along Lake Washington in Seattle and around Seward Park. I found the VO Porteur bars to be comfortable for this distance and didn't experience any numbness. I used all the hand positions (probably about 4 or so). I do have some mild tendinitis right now from "mousing" but this ride didn't bother it too much today. It was a great day to be out - very few drivers (or bikers). I took a couple of view shots to remember the ride, but nothing with the Hilsen in them. The next one will have to be a bit longer to really see about comfort on these.
Oh yeah - I wore my new orange Kucharik wool jersey over an Ibex zephyr, and it was great! I normally wear a medium, but got a large, and it fits perfectly. Nice and long in the torso. I would have to say the Ibex stuff has nicer work on the collar and cuffs, tho. Nice and toasty with 2 fairly light merino tops, but it was chilly enough today (mid 30's) that my toes were numb by the time I got back home. I had my Ibex El Fitto knickers under some longer pants, and everything else was warm and comfy.
